INNDF(8)		  InterNetNews Documentation		      INNDF(8)

NAME
       inndf - Report free disk, inodes, and overview information

SYNOPSIS
       inndf [-Fhi] [-f	filename] directory [directory ...]

       inndf -n

       inndf -o

DESCRIPTION
       inndf was originally a replacement for "df | awk" in innwatch.ctl(5)
       and innstat(8), and now also reports various other usage	information
       about INN's storage that	df(1) doesn't understand.  inndf doesn't sync,
       forks less, and is generally less complicated than df(1).

       Its default behavior is to report free kilobytes	(not disk blocks), or
       free inodes if -i is used, in the file systems holding the directories
       given on	the command line.  (A kilobyte in this case is 1024 bytes.)
       If only one directory is	given, the output will be a simple number; if
       more than one directory is given, the output will be formatted for
       human readability.

       If enableoverview is set	to true	in inn.conf, inndf can also be used to
       get information about the overview database.  With the -n option, it
       reports a count of the total number of overview records stored.	With
       -o, it reports the percentage of	space used in the overview database
       (for those overview methods where this is meaningful data).

OPTIONS
       -f filename
	   filename should contain a list of directories to use	in addition to
	   those  given	 by  the  arguments,  one  per	line.  Blank lines and
	   anything after "#" on any line are ignored.

       -F  Like	-f except that the filename is pathetc/filesystems and	it  is
	   not	an  error  if  this  file doesn't exist.  (This	option is used
	   primarily  by  such	things	as  innstat(8),	 so  that   the	  news
	   administrator   can	 add  additional  file	systems	 to  check  to
	   pathetc/filesystems without having to modify	the script.)

       -h  Print a usage message and exit.

       -i  Report the number of	free inodes rather than	 the  amount  of  free
	   disk	space.

       -n  Report  the total number of records in the overview database.  Note
	   that	crossposted articles will have one overview  record  for  each
	   newsgroup they're posted to.

       -o  Report  the	percentage usage of the	overview database space.  This
	   is only meaningful for overview methods that	pre-allocate a certain
	   amount of space rather  than	 grow  to  accommodate	more  records.
	   Currently,  this  flag  is only useful for the buffindexed overview
	   method.

EXAMPLES
       Print the free kilobytes	in pathspool as	a simple number:

	   inndf <pathspool in inn.conf>

       Report the free inodes in pathnews and pathspool	in a  format  designed
       for human readability:

	   inndf -i <pathnews> <pathspool>

       The same, but also add in all file systems in pathetc/filesystems:

	   inndf -i -F <pathnews> <pathspool>

       Print  out the number of	overview records and the percentage space used
       by a buffindexed	overview database:

	   inndf -no

HISTORY
       inndf was written by Ian	Dickinson  <idickins@fore.com>.	  This	manual
       page was	written	by Swa Frantzen	<Swa.Frantzen@belgium.eu.net>.	Thanks
       also to the following folks for ports, patches, and comments:

	   Mahesh Ramachandran <rr@eel.ufl.edu>
	   Chuck Swiger	<chuck@its.com>
	   Sang-yong Suh <sysuh@kigam.re.kr>
	   Brad	Dickey <bdickey@haverford.edu>
	   Taso	N. Devetzis <devetzis@snet.net>
	   Wei-Yeh Lee <weiyeh@columbia.edu>
	   Jeff	Garzik <jeff.garzik@spinne.com>

       and  to all the other folks I met and worked with during	my 10 years as
       a newsadmin.

       Katsuhiro Kondou	added the -n  and  -o  options.	  Russ	Allbery	 added
       reporting  of  percentage  free	disk space.  Support for -f and	-F was
       added by	Fabien Tassin <fta@sofaraway.org>.
